Default Insight into Minds of Bike Thieves

This story is tragic, and has most of Utah very concerned. As
background, a Brigham Young University student named Camille Cleverly has
disappeared. There are very few clues as to what might have happened to
her. She was last seen riding her bike more than a week ago.
In the Wasatch Mountains northeast of Provo, home of BYU, is a canyon
called Provo Canyon, which goes past a waterfall called Bridalveil Falls,
on by the Sundance Ski Resort, and ultimately into a valley near Park
City.
Now a pair of bicycle THIEVES have come forward, claiming that they
found Cleverly's bike "abandoned" at Bridalveil Falls. Since the bike was
"abandoned" they cut the lock and "took" the bike. (Yeah, right, all
"abandoned" bikes are locked up, and don't we all just happen to carry
bolt cutters in case we happen across an "abandoned" bike? And it's not
stealing if we call it "taking.")
But the bike turned out to be white hot, so the thieves turned it and
themselves in...
